The stern of the ship spewed out a blue flame of plasma, propelling the Breeze to quickly approach the edge of the battlefield.

Lin Xu stood at the porthole, and he could even see the pattern on a piece of shard close at hand.

The pattern has a unique complex beauty, and it obviously belongs to a strange civilization.

In order to see clearly, Lin Xu reached out and made a two-finger magnified gesture on the porthole, as if he was manipulating a touchscreen mobile phone.

And the porthole faced Lin Xu's piece, and immediately reacted, really enlarging the fragments not far away, so that Lin Xu could see more clearly.

The command and control room on the Qingfeng is actually wrapped in the core of the battleship, the safest place.

The so-called portholes, in fact, are just holographic interactive screens, which can broadcast the scenes outside the battleship in all directions in real time, making people look as if they are really looking through the large glass and looking outside the battleship.

In reality, however, this is not the case, and the command room is not located on the edge of a vulnerable battleship capable of large glass.

Lin Xu stretched out his hand and scratched on the porthole, canceling the magnification, and the picture of the porthole immediately returned to normal.

And the piece of debris that Lin Xu was looking at just now was also included in the bag of a deep space forklift composed of an autonomous machine.

At this time, outside Lin Xu's porthole, in addition to the autonomic machinery that guarded the perimeter of the Qingfeng that had been combined to form a cone turret, there were also massive, tens of thousands of autonomic mechanical aggregates, which were busy on the ruins of this battleship.

They continued to collect scattered debris and bring it back to Earth for research, and they also continued to move towards the interior of the ruins of the battleship until they reached a ruined battleship, and then directly dragged the battleship out, and also brought it back to Earth for research.

And what Lin Xu could do was to watch the busy work of the self-disciplined machinery outside from the porthole.

As for saying that Lin Xu personally went out of the warehouse to wander around the ruins, it was impossible.

Allowing him to play soy sauce at close range is already the limit of quantum computers.

Even if it's not dangerous, it's a battlefield ruin.

Let him go to the front line of contact in person, what if he encounters a bomb or something that didn't explode?

And not far from the Qingfeng, in addition to Lin Xu's guard autonomic mechanical aggregate, the only stationary autonomic machinery was a dozen autonomic mechanical aggregates floating in space, guarding the core of a curvature engine.

It's the kind of curvature engine that is installed inside a planetary engine.

It's just that this curvature engine is now floating in space.

The curvature engine alone is about a kilometer in size, which is about the same size as Lin Xu's Qingfeng.

With a single curvature engine as the core, the outer shell is wrapped in a combination of hundreds of autonomous mechanical aggregates.

In this way, this curvature engine can carry hundreds of autonomous mechanical aggregates and fly faster than light.

Even because of the light load, the speed can reach ten times the speed of light that is close to the limit.

Far more than the speed of the Earth at this time.

It can be responsible for the front outgoing pathfinder and provide early warning for the earth.

Previously, when the Earth was flying at twice the speed of light, it was such a combination of autonomous mechanical aggregates and curvature engine cores that provided early warning to the Earth in all directions.

By the way, the ability to maintain communication at the speed of light is also thanks to quantum communication technology.

It's a pity that the current quantum communication technology on the earth still has a distance limit, and it can be used in the range of one-tenth of a light year at most.

It's not okay to go out of range.

However, it is enough to provide early warning.

And a tenth of a light-year is already far away, already hundreds of times the distance from the Sun to Neptune.

Lin Xu stood by the porthole and watched for a long time, until a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates had stopped collecting samples and turned to explore deeper into this ruin, and then Lin Xu returned to the captain's seat at the highest point in the command room.

It was only at this time that Lin Xu suddenly realized that even if he came over, he didn't seem to be able to do anything.

I thought that exploring the ancient battlefield or the interstellar battlefield should be a very exciting adventure-like behavior, but in fact, the adventure is not your turn at all, and the self-discipline machinery is in charge, and she is completely a mascot.

"Human Lin Xu, we found the opponent's core storage device in the broken battleship and read part of it." Shirahoshi's voice rang out.

"The storage device hasn't been damaged yet? Can you understand? Lin Xu immediately came to his senses again and asked.

"Some information can also be extracted from some devices, and after a lot of data comparison, although it is impossible to completely decipher the other party's language, some information is still determined." Shirahoshi explained.

"Tell me more." Lin Xu asked.

"This is a civil war between the same civilization, to be precise, the government forces pursuing the rebels and then annihilating them here. The remaining government forces returned with the bodies of both sides, leaving behind this piece of ruin, which is why we did not find any suspected alien corpses from here. ”

Lin Xu nodded slowly, and then asked the one thing he cared about the most, "Can you determine the main body of this civilization and its current location?" ”

"The main body of civilization is a galaxy thirty light-years away from here, and based on how this civilization pronounces itself, it might be possible to call them the Knolls." Shirahoshi suggested.

"Then it's better to call them the Knolls, but looking at their spaceship, it shouldn't be fast, right? Thirty light years how long are they going to fly? Lin Xu said incredulously.

"According to the analysis, the speed of their spacecraft is comparable to the speed of the long-distance ship group when humans set sail 10,000 years ago, about one hundredth of the speed of light."

"Then it would take them at least three thousand years to fly thirty light years, right? Just to hunt down a rebel army, hunt down and kill for 3,000 years? Is it so persistent? Lin Xu's tone was full of incredulity.

"According to what we read, it should be that the rebels have captured something so important that it must be recaptured at all costs. There will be this long pursuit, until the rebels are eliminated and things are retrieved, and then they return. ”

"Can you determine when this battle took place?" Lin Xu continued to ask.

"Three thousand years ago."

"Three thousand years ago? That is, the fleet of the Noorians who have returned to their planet may have just returned to their planet now? What is it that is so important to them? Lin Xu was full of curiosity.

"According to their information, it is an item known as the Chaos Elemental Energy, but there is no video material. Because the chaotic energy cannot be described, it cannot be recorded. The person who sees it will become crazy, and even if it is a recording machine, the database will become chaotic, and the extracted content will not be understood at all, so there will be no video data at all. ”

"What's that? Cthulhu? Such an unscientific thing, don't be funny. Lin Xu looked incredulous.

"It's not the kind of evil god that I imagined in the novel. The Chaos Element Energy itself is not destructive, just put it there, nothing will happen, nothing will be affected. It only has an impact on the observer if it is observed. And this impact is not a physical impact, but only a mental or data-based, informational impact. ”

"Mental effects? Mental pollution? Or is there a special electromagnetic wave that interferes with the observer's brain waves? Also causing interference with computer data? Lin Xu guessed.

"There is not enough data to analyse it. Human Lin Xu, do you need to change course and go to the Noel civilization to investigate? Shirahoshi asked.

Lin Xu groaned for a moment, but still shook his head.

"Forget it, thirty light years, and it will take fifteen years to fly there! And this is still someone else's baby, and when the time comes, it's better not to make extraneous branches. ”
